Why each option
802.11k Radio Resource Management enables APs to send neighbor reports to clients, helping them identify nearby APs and make faster, smarter roaming decisions.
802.11r defines Fast BSS Transition (FT), which accelerates the re-authentication and key exchange process during a roam but does not provide neighbor reports to guide where the client should roam.
802.11k defines Radio Resource Management, which includes the Neighbor Report feature. When a client requests a neighbor report, the associated AP responds with a list of nearby APs including their BSSID, channel, and signal information. This allows the client to proactively scan only relevant candidate APs rather than performing a full channel scan, significantly improving roaming speed and efficiency.
802.11d is the Country Information element standard, which informs clients about regulatory domain settings such as allowed channels and maximum transmit power limits in a given country.
802.11h adds Spectrum Management features including Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) and Transmit Power Control (TPC) for 5 GHz bands to comply with radar avoidance regulations, unrelated to roaming guidance.
